Positives: The course gives a realistic view of how the industry is, so they give you essential facts and information to be successful. They train you in essential skills that are necessary to succeed well in the industry.

Negatives: It’s difficult to specialise in what you want to become in the course as roles are very competitive. Thus, it disadvantages students to perfect their skills in their desired profession

My advice to future students is: To go into the course with an open mind and willing to get outside of your comfort zone.

Positives: Some of the positive aspects of my course include that it covers a wide range of different topics inside film and television. It allows you to explore the practical sides of the course, including using proper industry equipment, studios and software. It also alows you to understand the theory sides of things including genre, screenwriting, pre-production, budgeting and development.

Negatives: Alterations from the true industry, pressure to do certain things as opposed to other newer options, unnecessary assessments which don’t expand knowledge in the way the industry would utilise.

My advice to future students is: Become more organised and use time management wisely in order to manage projects. Watch and consume lots of film, television and new media content and keep up to date with the art form and the technology.

Positive aspects - definitely the resources that are provided by QUT, they have amazing resources available to students which really allow you to fully experience your craft. They also provide amazing experience in the real world to get practical. Negative aspects - occasionally the workload was intense and overruled everything else in life, but I guess that's just a part of it!

My advice to future students is: Be prepared to work your ass off if you actually want to do well. You can cruise through if you want to, but then you'll be getting second grade jobs and stuff afterwards. If you put your all in during uni, it'll help so much afterwards.

Very engaged teachers, very good opportunities, great for bringing structure to one's work. Mileage seemed to vary based on individual motivation of students: could have been better 1 on 1 at setting post-grad expectations?

My advice to future students is: Go into your degree with ambition, especially when it comes to proj...

Very engaged teachers, very good opportunities, great for bringing structure to one's work. Mileage seemed to vary based on individual motivation of students: could have been better 1 on 1 at setting post-grad expectations?

My advice to future students is: Go into your degree with ambition, especially when it comes to project subjects: the more vague your intent, the less you'll get out of it. Try to find passion in the work

Positive: encouraging educators, creative and flexible, prepares students for the industry
Negative: the assessment criteria can often be too flexible and therefore tutors sometimes end up being subjective

My advice to future students is: To keep up with the readings because they do help
